The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Petty theft was already too exciting for Itoko Nabeshima.

When walking forward in a dark corner with her waist bent, she always felt that the guard's sight was like a searchlight on a fan, which would cover her at any time. It was like a huge web of fear that would catch her.

So her whole body was trembling.

Zhao Chuanxin, who was holding her hand in front, turned around and smiled at her: "Don't be afraid. If we are discovered, we will fight in. Even if we can't fight in, it will be easy to escape."

In fact, for Zhao Chuanxin to be so cautious already shows that this environment is not as easy to escape as he said.

Because there is only a solitary building in the Seokzoo Hall, and there are only tree crowns on both sides that are barely higher than the Seokzoo Hall.

If Zhao Chuanxin is really discovered, Nabeshima Itoko will see what it means to be ruthless, and he will abandon her as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the two of them escaped safely and successfully got around.

In this kind of guarded place, there are usually only guards stationed at the entrance to the front hall, and there is absolutely no one behind.

Nabeshima Itoko had no choice but to follow Zhao Chuanxin's sneaky actions. When she arrived at the place, she squatted on the ground and acted as Zhao Chuanxin's lookout.

Later, Zhao Chuanxin was not so careful in his actions.

While he was busy, he asked with a smile: "How is it? Isn't it exciting to be with me?"

Nabeshima Itoko rolled her eyes at him: "Why do you always say weird things that make people misunderstand?"

She felt that what Zhao Chuanxin said was as if the two were having an affair.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "There is no misunderstanding. Look, there is no one around in this lush grassland, only the two of us. But there is only a wall between us, so maybe someone is sleeping. We are sneaking around here..."

"Shut up."

Zhao Chuanxin took the elf carving knife and silently cut the folds of the lattice window, taking half of the window first, and then cutting the other half.

Because there are no steps behind the Seokjeon Hall like there are in front.

Therefore, Zhao Chuanxin had to step on the concrete and stone foundation with his toes to work.

Those trembling toes made Nabeshima Itoko feel a little thrilling.

After all, she hadn't seen "Mission: Impossible."

Zhao Chuanxin took down the two windows and placed them gently on the ground.

When he jumped down, he inevitably stepped on crispy dead branches of vegetation. The crisp sound made Nabeshima Itoko look around guiltily.

Fortunately, Zhao Chuanxin was able to accomplish this without any danger.

In fact, Zhao Chuanxin didn't take it seriously at all. When he went to the bank to withdraw money, he had done this kind of work so much that it was nothing at the moment.

After it was done, he jumped up first, stepped on the window sill, and reached down: "Give me your hand."

After pulling Nabeshima Itoko up, the two of them looked around blankly in the corridor.

Although he got the information that the map should be hidden in the Shizuo Hall, and now he has successfully found the Shizao Hall, the problem is that he can't just break in from room to room, right?

Nabeshima Itoko looked around and whispered: "The emperor's office is upstairs. I think the study you are looking for should be right next to the office."

Zhao Chuanxin gave a thumbs up: "Sister, you are really a qualified house help."

"Shut up."

The two secretly went upstairs.

Maybe because it was late at night, I didn't meet any guards, maids, or eunuchs.

But after going upstairs, Zhao Chuanxin saw that the door of a room was open, the light of a light came from the door, and there was a eunuch at the door.

Nabeshima Itoko also saw it, and she whispered: "The only one who will stop at the Seokzoo Hall at this late hour is the Emperor of Korea, Ri Xi. Don't mess around."

Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly heard footsteps coming from downstairs.

He hurriedly looked around and saw that a door diagonally opposite was open, so he pulled Nabeshima Itoko and boldly walked through the corridor and slipped into the room.

Nabeshima Itoko's heart almost jumped out of her chest. There was a eunuch standing not far from them. What if he was discovered?

When they slipped into the room, they heard footsteps going upstairs, murmured a few words to the eunuch at the door, and then entered the house.

Because it was night and the corridor was empty, the sound had an amplifying effect.

Zhao Chuanxin heard a voice coming from that room: "You all stand down."

Zhao Chuanxin opened the door a little and looked around, and saw the eunuch at the door walking towards him in a hurry.

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly closed the door and hid at the door with Itoko Nabeshima.

Most things in the world have a logic behind them. For example, the room Zhao Chuanxin chose has a crack in the door, which means that people often come in and out tonight.

In fact, this room was the place where the eunuchs temporarily rested when Emperor Li Xiping retired to serve.

When the eunuch opened the door, Nabeshima Itoko's head buzzed and she felt her hair standing on end.

It is unknown that patients with heart disease may not be able to bear the stimulation and fall ill on the spot.

However, Zhao Chuanxin made a decisive decision and took out the insect silk scarf and threw it forward.

The silk scarf was wrapped around the mouth of the eunuch who came in, making him unable to speak.

Zhao Chuanxin stepped forward and cut off the eunuch's hands behind his back.

He had big hands, and he could hold the eunuch's slender wrists with one hand and take out the rope with the other hand.

The eunuch struggled in panic and instinctively wanted to shout, but he couldn't.

His struggle was ineffective. Zhao Chuanxin only used one hand to immobilize him.

After gesticulating with the rope, Zhao Chuanxin found it difficult to do so, so he handed the rope over: "Sister, you tie it up."

Nabeshima Itoko: "..."

Inexplicably, he became an accessory.

She was worried that she would be discovered if she made a fuss here for a long time, so she reluctantly took the rope and tied it to the eunuch.

"..." Zhao Chuanxin was speechless: "Sister, can you please stop tying the bow? If the eunuch wants to untie this kind of slip knot, doesn't he just have to have his hands?"

Nabeshima Itoko really had no criminal experience and blushed: "Oh, let's re-tie."

This time, she hit a tight dunk, and her hands and feet were quite nimble.

Zhao Chuanxin praised: "You are really experienced and recruited from the real situation. Do you play often?"

After all, Nabeshima Itoko did not have the rich experience of her juniors, and her face was blank when she heard this.

Zhao Chuanxin took out another long rag instead of the insect silk scarf and tied the eunuch's mouth tightly.

After doing this, he took Nabeshima Itoko and quietly walked out.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Chuanxin really escaped. The Japanese bombarded the room where Zhao Chuanxin was, then wrapped his mouth and nose with wet cloths and entered the hotel to search, but no one or body was found."

"Are the Japanese troops still surrounding the Seoul Hotel?"

"After the search, they have dispersed. But because they have just dispersed, we did not dare to act rashly."

"Well, you did a good job. It's better to be careful. Send someone to squat outside the hotel and wait for daybreak to investigate quietly."

Li Xiangxi said: "Zhao Chuanxin has indeed escaped. However, if we want to use him, we will have to pay a certain price. As far as I know, this man regards money as dirt, and I have never heard of him being lustful. I wonder where Your Majesty will start?"

Zhao Chuanxin could hear the conversation in the office, but he didn't understand it.

However, he heard the words "Zhao Chuanxin", which was unmistakable.

He looked at Itoko Nabeshima.

Nabeshima Itoko also shook her head blankly.

Zhao Chuanxin knew that the conversation in the room must be related to him.

I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows, really wanting to understand what they said.

At this time, the guards had already left.

Zhao Chuanxin thought about it in his mind.

There were only three people talking in the hall.

The eunuch at the door has been tied up by him.

Apart from the guards and Li Xi, the other person must be a civil servant, so it's not a big problem.

Zhao Chuanxin was heartbroken, pulled Nabeshima Itoko behind him, and took out the insect silk scarf again.

As soon as the guard went out, Zhao Chuanxin threw the insect silk scarf to block the other person's mouth, then threw himself at him.

Unexpectedly, this guard was still a martial artist. Although he was frightened, he jumped up and kicked Zhao Chuanxin.

Captain Zhao, known as "Zhao Invincible" and "Rooftop God of War", few people know that he is a trash in boxing and kicking.

When someone kicked him, he didn't show any fancy tricks, because he didn't know how.

Instead, he pushed his chest up and endured the kick forcefully.

However, when he kicked him in the chest, Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hands, grabbed the man's legs, and threw him towards the door frame next to him.

How strong is Zhao Chuanxin?

Just listen to a "bang" sound.

The guard's head hit the door frame and he fell silently, not knowing whether to live or die.

This time the noise was a bit louder, and someone inside the house shouted: "Who is outside?"

Nabeshima Itoko had previously guessed that the Korean Emperor Li Xi should be in this room, while Zhao Chuanxin predicted that even if Li Xi was not in the room, he must be a very important person.

Therefore, he pulled Nabeshima Itoko into the house generously.

There were two people in the room. The one sitting in the upper seat had a goatee, thin and sparse eyebrows, and a large forehead.

Wearing a tall crown that reaches the sky, and a robe with a coiled collar and narrow sleeves.

It is not at all different from the official uniforms of the Qing court, but looks like the costumes of the Ming Dynasty.

But looking at the dragon on his chest, you know his identity.

The person at the bottom is wearing a suit.

The two of them were surprised when they saw Zhao Chuanxin.

Just as he was about to speak, Li Xiangxi saw Itoko Nabeshima behind Zhao Chuanxin and said in surprise: "Princess Rimoto?"

After all, Rimotomiya Morimasa was a nobleman, so hosting banquets, cocktail receptions, and salons was commonplace. Li Xiangxi met Nabeshima Itoko once at a banquet, and Nabeshima Itoko had a special temperament, so he recognized her at a glance.

He knew Nabeshima Itoko, but Nabeshima Itoko didn't recognize him.

She looked at him in surprise.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed with his hand: "I heard you talking about me just now, come on, tell me in front of me, what bad things did you say?"

He spoke Chinese.

However, the two people on the other side actually understood it.

In fact, the upper class in South Korea have always been proud of being able to speak Chinese.

Even in the early years, they carried out the "De-Sinicization Movement", the upper class still went their own way, and those movements were only for the people at the bottom.

Even on the 101st anniversary of independence in later generations, when the Declaration of Independence was announced, it was all in Chinese.

Korean is a phonetic script and does not have the four tonal changes like Chinese. Usually, the meaning of a word can only be guessed based on the context, and many times it is not clear.

It is not surprising that the emperor and ministers can both speak Chinese.

After understanding Zhao Chuanxin's words, the two of them opened their mouths in surprise.

Li Xi pointed at Zhao Chuanxin with trembling fingers: "You, you, are you Zhao Chuanxin?"

He also tried his best to contact Zhao Chuanxin, but he didn't expect him to come uninvited.

Li Xiangxi was equally surprised: "Zhao Chuanxin? How did you get in?"

After being surprised, I felt shuddering.

This person really has the ability to predict the ghosts and gods. If he wanted to assassinate them, wouldn't he be able to control them to death?

Nabeshima Itoko found that Zhao Chuanxin, who had been smiling playfully with her, had a face that was changing like a storm, and suddenly turned as ice as frost.

He took a step forward and said with murderous intent: "Zhao is asking you questions. What bad things did you say about me just now?"

Both Li Xiangxi and Emperor Li Xi could not help but retreat in horror.

It was as if what he was facing was not a human being, but an evil spirit!

Nabeshima Itoko's eyes widened. How could one person's power reach this level?

With just one sentence, the mighty emperor of the empire was frightened into retreating?

Li Xiangxi took a step back, remembering Li Xi's identity, and felt ashamed and angry: "Bold, Zhao Chuanxin, do you know who you are talking to?"

Without saying a word, Zhao Chuanxin stepped forward and picked up Li Xiangxi's collar, raised his hand and slapped him.

Snapped!

"Do you know who the hell you're talking to?"

Li Xiangxi was stunned.

Even if Li Wanyong was so arrogant, he would not dare to slap him in public.

Only then did he remember that the evil star in front of him didn't care about emperors or generals. Even Cixi was forced to jump out of the window by him.

When South Korea was still North Korea, North Korea was just a vassal of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the royal family only dared to call itself king. It was only after the Sino-Japanese War that we dared to become independent, and the Korean Empire came into existence. It can be said that the title of emperor was obtained through various kneeling and licking. (Let’s give a rough explanation, otherwise there will always be people who don’t understand, but that’s it for now.)

It seems that the emperor of a small place really can't control Zhao Chuanxin.

He whispered: "You, please let me go first."

"Hmph!" Zhao Chuanxin snorted coldly and let him go: "Isn't he the emperor? Just pretend to be in front of me. Don't let me ask a third time. The third time Zhao will be tortured to extract a confession!"

Li Xi also realized at this time that he was going to form an alliance with Zhao Chuanxin, so there was no need to offend him.

He quickly said: "Mr. Zhao, don't be angry. I, uh, I didn't say anything bad about you."

Nabeshima Itoko, who was watching the whole process, was stunned. Zhao Chuanxin actually forced Li Xi to not dare to call himself "I".

Only then did Zhao Chuanxin smile.

Said: "If you didn't say bad things, does that mean you said good things?"

Li Xi nodded: "Yes, you said good things. I, I would like to have a few words with you in private."

After saying that, he glanced at Itoko Nabeshima, with the implication that he wanted her to avoid it.

Although Nabeshima Itoko was curious about what Li Xi wanted to say to Zhao Chuanxin, she finally looked at Zhao Chuanxin.

Whether he can be present or not is decided by Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin rolled his eyes.

He was worried that Nabeshima Itoko had run away.

This woman might be able to extort another amount of money.

As for money, the more the better.

So he said to Li Xiangxi: "You and the princess go out and wait together. Don't even think about calling the guards. The Japanese army can't stop me, and your Korean trash snacks are even worse."

The most important thing is that his emperor Li Xi is still in his hands, and Zhao Chuanxin is not worried that he will cause trouble.

Li Xi nodded towards Li Xiangxi.

After the two of them went out, Li Xi bypassed his own work and deliberately got closer to appear intimate. Then he said: "Mr. Zhao, Japan is your enemy and also my enemy. The matter is urgent, and I won't show off. I'm not as good as you." How about my alliance?”

These words really scratched the itch in Zhao Chuanxin's heart.

Before he came, he was wondering if he could do something with Bangzi to cause trouble for the Japanese.

Now, Li Xi actually came to the door.

However, he still pretended to be reserved and said: "Form an alliance? What good can this Zhao do?"

Li Xi thought of Li Xiangxi's words and felt embarrassed: "Mr. Zhao doesn't like beauty or money..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him, rolled up his arms and sleeves and said indignantly: "Who told you that I don't love beauty or money? Come on, tell me this person's name, and I will break his legs. No, this is naked slander, you know?”

"..."

Li Xi looked at Zhao Chuanxin in confusion.

Are all the relationship rumors false?

"Then, how much money does Mr. Zhao want? How many women?"

"Women, forget it for now. I've discovered that you don't have any good meat now. Money, you have to make me tempted."

The Korean royal family is very rich!

Many years later, the Qing regent Zaifeng often complained to his son Pujie: "The British destroyed India, and Indian princes are hereditary to this day. Japan annexed North Korea, and King Li's family is still their highness..."

It means that everyone is living a good life, rich and noble. But they, the old and the young, lived nothing.

After Japan annexed Korea, the annual annual fee paid to the Korean royal family was initially 1.2 million yen per year.

What is the concept?

In exchange for future generations' money, it would be roughly 332 million soft girls.

The members of the Li royal family are not very prosperous, and this money is enough for them to live and drink well.

Moreover, this is only the annual fee provided by Japan.

Li Xi must be rich himself.

It seems that just building this palace cost a lot of money.

After hearing this, Li Xi gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Zhao, I have an idea. I will take you to the inner bank. Whatever you like, as long as you can take it with you, I will let you take it with you today. But you have to help me. Do some big things!"

I am...

Zhao Chuanxin was shocked.

This man made a big mistake.

Some Japanese made this mistake back then, and ended up losing both their wives and their troops.

Now Li Xi is here again?

Letting Zhao Chuan's salary go into internal funds, isn't it like putting a mouse in a rice vat?

Li Xi saw Zhao Chuanxin nodding his head: "Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea."

"..."

Li Xi was wondering, had he made a mistake?

Something seems wrong?

So he was going to tell the ugly story first: "Mr. Zhao must first promise me to do three things for me."

After thinking about it, it was a good deal to exchange some money for the continuation of imperial power.

Zhao Chuanxin's strong personal force can play a big role.

"Yeah, yeah, tell me."

Li Xi took a deep breath: "First thing, I want Mr. Zhao to help me send Li Xiangxi to Jiandao."

"no problem."

Zhao Chuanxin answered without even thinking.

If it's just this little thing, it's like giving him free money.

Li Xi was not surprised. If the first thing was difficult, then there would be no need to talk about it later.

He continued: "The second thing is, Mr. Zhao help me kill Li Wanyong!"

"Oh, Li Wanyong, right? Tell me the time and place, and ask someone to help me identify who he is. Removing his head among tens of millions of soldiers is like picking something out of a bag."

hiss……

What a loud tone.

Seeing his agreement, Li Xi looked excited, and then gritted his teeth: "Then, the third thing - Mr. Zhao helped me assassinate Ito Hirobumi. This thief bullied me too much!"
